AOA claims for HW30 Deluxe Stainless

[miksatx]

Yeah It claims that it will produce 620fps. But on all the rest of HW30s produce 425fps. So to HW30 deluxe stainless owners what’s the truth? I preorder one based on that claim.

425 sounds like normal Hw30 22
620 sounds like normal Hw30 177

Both numbers are conservative and easily improved.

There's no difference internally between the standard Hw30 and Deluxe.

The thing is they have the stainless looking 35E .22 is in stock. It’s slightly heavier.

The 35E is a tank. It's much heavier than the Hw30

The HW35 is about the same weight as a HW95 and length accept the barrel length, also has way less power then the 95, in the .177cal unless you shoot the really light pellets or have a really good tune? My .22cal 35 with a 12.25'' barrel with a JM kit with a 16gn AA Field aved this pellet at 605fps and my stock HW95 in .22cal with the same length barrel shot this same pellet at exactly the same speed! as my Home tuned HW95 with the factory parts, IMO unless you buy a 35 carbine 16'' barrel I think the 19'' barrel is too much! it will seem like a very long barrel for what it is IMO, any way I sold the 35 rifle in .22cal a few yrs ago and kept the 95 it's just easier for me to handle and shoot, YMMV

I see they have a HW50 it’s only 6.8lbs and make 600 fps. Thoughts?

You can find a lot about the hw50s (or any other Weihrauch for that matter) using the search function.  Many here, myself included, consider the hw50s to be the best offering in the HW lineup.  It is between the hw30 and hw95 in terms of size and power.  Just right IMHO and the one I’d own if I could only own one.  Figure an hw50s will shoot at 11-12fpe in factory trim.

My HW30s in .22 and with stock internals chronographs at 510 fps with a 14.3 grain pellet, and 490 fps with a 16 grain pellet.

I also have a hw30s in .22 that has been de-tuned with a Canadian legal power spring (less than 500 fps in .177).
It shoots 14.3 grain pellets just over 400 fps, and 16 grain pellets just under 400 fps.

They are very accurate and delightful to shoot, and like a wide variety of pellets.

Yeah this^^^^^.
My preference for the Hw50 is 177. I had a 22 Hw50 and sold it. I didn't like the loopy 600-640 fps trajectory. The guy I sold it to loves it. He'll tell you its his best rifle. Different strokes for different folks..

I love my 30s the most, but if I could only have one air rifle it would be my 177 Hw50.

Depending on pellet weight my HW50 in .22cal Aves between 620 to 630fps, but this rifle has a JM Hornet kit and Ausie green piston seal, it also has a 12.25'' barrel, I'm not a fan of this rifle in .177cal unless it's detuned to around 8 to 9ftlbs, I prefer the 50 over the 30 due to its size plus you can get more power from the 50 that you cannot get from the 30, but you can detune the 50 to 30 power levels and have a very nice shooting rifle! I have 3 HW50's 2 in .20cal and 1 in .22cal, I have also owned an R7 no sight muzzle break model and a HW30 that I also had the barrel cut to 10.5" with a 7.5'' wolf can and tuned up, I liked the 30 sized guns but there just too small for my liking, the HW 50 for me fits me better, I'm 5'10'' and 180lbs, the 50 for me is as small of a gun that feels like it should for my size! YMMV

Who is they?

Please remember that it is not stainless steel gun, it is nickel dipped!  The nickel adds a layer to the "normal" rifle.  Sometimes this gets in the way of things....

Yeah It claims that it will produce 620fps. But on all the rest of HW30s produce 425fps. So to HW30 deluxe stainless owners what’s the truth? I preorder one based on that claim.

425 sounds like normal Hw30 22
620 sounds like normal Hw30 177

Both numbers are conservative and easily improved.

I have this rifle from AOA....excellent, fun, dependable, small, light and quiet....Bayman summarized the speeds correctly.

Dennis, If your .22 HW30s is only shooting at 425ish fps it needs to be checked out; something is not right.

Surprise!!!

AoA lies.  Yea, alot of their info is wrong.

So is the HW50 hold sensitive or more like HW30?

All coil spring guns are hold sensitive.  Only gas ram springers are not, at least not very much.
